Deuteronomy 16
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1"Keep the month of Hababey and observe Passover to LORD JEHOVAH your God because in the month of Hababey LORD JEHOVAH your God brought you out from Egypt in the night. 2And slaughter the Passover to LORD JEHOVAH your God from a flock and from bulls in the place where LORD JEHOVAH your God has chosen to camp his name. 3You will not eat leaven with it, but seven days eat poor unleavened bread with it, because you went out in a hurry from Egypt, so that you will be remembering the day that you came out from Egypt all of the days of your life. 4And leaven will not be seen inside all of your borders seven days, and none of the flesh that you slaughter in the evening in the first day will remain until the morning. 5It is not legal for you to kill the Passover in one of your cities that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you: 6But in the place that LORD JEHOVAH your God will choose to encamp his name, kill the Passover there in the evening at setting of the sun, according to the time when you came out from Egypt. 7And roast and eat in the place that LORD JEHOVAH your God has chosen for it, and return at dawn and go to your dwellings. 8Six days you shall eat unleavened bread and the seventh day is the assembly to LORD JEHOVAH your God; you shall do no work in it.

9Seven weeks you shall count for yourself; whenever you start the sickle in the standing corn, begin to count seven weeks. 10And make a feast of weeks to LORD JEHOVAH your God, a sufficient offering of your hands that you designated, as LORD JEHOVAH your God blessed you: 11And rejoice before LORD JEHOVAH your God, you and your son, and your daughter, and your Servant, and your Maid, and the Levite who is in your city, and the traveler, and the orphan, and the widow who is among you in the place that LORD JEHOVAH your God had chosen to encamp his name there. 12And remember that you were a Servant in Egypt; keep and do all these laws.

13Make for yourself the feast of booths seven days whenever you gather from the granary and from the winepress: 14And rejoice in your feast, you and your son, and your daughter, and your Servant, and your Maid, and the Levite, and the orphan, and the widow, and the settler who is in your city. 15Seven days make the feast to LORD JEHOVAH your God in the place that LORD JEHOVAH had chosen, that LORD JEHOVAH your God would bless you in all your increase and in all the works of your hands and you shall be rejoicing.

16Three times in a year your memorials shall appear before LORD JEHOVAH your God in the place He has chosen: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths, and you shall not appear before LORD JEHOVAH your God with nothing: 17But each man in proportion to the gift of his hand, in proportion to the blessing that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you.

18Make for yourself Judges and Scribes in all your cities that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you for your tribes, and they shall judge the people with the judgment of righteousness. 19And do not turn away judgment and do not accept persons and do not accept a bribe, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise in judgment and changes the words of the innocent. 20But in righteousness judge your neighbor that you may live and you may enter and inherit the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives you.

21Do not plant for yourself a grove of any tree on the side of the altar of LORD JEHOVAH your God which you shall make for yourself. 22And you shall not set up as a monument for yourself anything that LORD JEHOVAH your God hates.”
